Gibraltar SSW10-2AS-G Threaded Spring Plunger 8-32

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR SSW10-2AS-G is a stubby threaded spring plunger designed for precise, repeatable positioning and indexing applications in mechanical assemblies. With an 8-32 thread size and a thread length of 0.437 inches, this plunger installs directly into tapped holes in fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and machine components. The stainless steel body and nose resist corrosion and hold up in washdown or high-humidity environments. Initial end force is 1.5 pounds, and final end force reaches 4.7 pounds, providing a firm, controlled engagement stroke. The stubby form factor suits installations where axial space is limited. Mechanical technicians and machine builders are the typical installers.

This spring plunger is suited for light-duty positioning, detenting, and part-retention tasks in industrial equipment, fixtures, and tooling. The 8-32 threaded body installs in standard tapped holes found in aluminum, steel, and plastic assemblies. The 0.052-inch plunger projection delivers a short, positive stroke appropriate for low-clearance applications. Its stainless steel construction makes it a practical choice in food processing, wet, or chemically exposed environments where carbon steel hardware is not appropriate.

Key Features

• 8-32 thread size with 0.437-inch thread length for direct installation in standard tapped holes
• Stubby plunger length type for use in space-constrained assemblies
• Stainless steel body and nose material for corrosion resistance
• 1.5-pound initial end force and 4.7-pound final end force for firm detent engagement
• 0.052-inch plunger projection and 0.070-inch maximum plunger diameter for precision fitment
• No locking element — torque-in installation with no secondary retention hardware required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 8-32 threaded spring plunger for use in tapped holes in industrial fixtures, jigs, tooling plates, and mechanical assemblies requiring light-duty positioning or indexing.

Installation Notes

Install using a hex key or appropriate driver into a properly tapped 8-32 hole, ensuring threads are clean and free of debris before engagement. De-energize or lock out any powered equipment before servicing assemblies containing spring plungers. Do not overtighten, as this can deform the plunger nose or compress the internal spring beyond its working range. Follow applicable machinery safety standards for the equipment being serviced.
